## Architecture Overview
### Four-Tier Evidence Collection
```
Tier 1: Distro Advisories (Confidence: 0.98)
└─> Query: IDistroAdvisoryRepository.FindByCveAndPackageAsync()
└─> Evidence: DSA/RHSA/USN with fixed_version metadata
Tier 2: Changelog Mentions (Confidence: 0.80)
└─> Query: ISourceArtifactRepository.FindChangelogsByCveAsync()
└─> Evidence: debian/changelog, RPM %changelog with CVE mentions
Tier 3: Patch Headers + HunkSig (Confidence: 0.85-0.90)
└─> Query: IPatchRepository.FindPatchHeadersByCveAsync()
└─> Evidence: Git commit messages, patch file headers, HunkSig matches
Tier 4: Binary Fingerprints (Confidence: 0.55-0.85)
└─> Query: IPatchRepository.FindBinaryFingerprintsByCveAsync()
└─> Evidence: TLSH locality hashes, instruction sequence hashes
```
### Confidence Aggregation
```csharp
Aggregate Confidence = max(baseConfidence) + multiSourceBonus
Multi-Source Bonus:
- 2 tiers: +0.05
- 3 tiers: +0.08
- 4 tiers: +0.10
Example:
- Tier 1 (0.98) + Tier 3 (0.85) = max(0.98) + 0.05 = 1.03 capped at 0.98
- Tier 2 (0.80) + Tier 3 (0.85) + Tier 4 (0.75) = 0.85 + 0.08 = 0.93
```
### Proof Generation Workflow
```
Scanner detects CVE-2024-1234 in pkg:deb/debian/curl@7.64.0-4
ProofAwareVexGenerator.GenerateVexWithProofAsync()
BackportProofService.GenerateProofAsync()
├─> QueryDistroAdvisoriesAsync() → ProofEvidence (Tier 1)
├─> QueryChangelogsAsync() → List<ProofEvidence> (Tier 2)
├─> QueryPatchesAsync() → List<ProofEvidence> (Tier 3)
└─> QueryBinaryFingerprintsAsync() → List<ProofEvidence> (Tier 4)
BackportProofGenerator.CombineEvidence()
ProofBlob { ProofId, Confidence, Method, Evidences[], SnapshotId }
VexProofIntegrator.GenerateWithProofMetadata()
VexVerdictWithProof { Statement, ProofPayload, Proof }
```

## Handoff Notes
### For Storage Team
1. **Implement Repository Interfaces:** See `BackportProofService.cs` lines 275-290 for interface definitions
2. **Deploy Database Schema:** SQL schema provided in "Database Schema" section above
3. **Seed Test Data:** Recommend seeding 100 CVEs across all tiers for integration testing
4. **Performance Tuning:** Add indices on `(cve_id, package_purl)` for fast lookups
### For QA Team
1. **Test Data Requirements:** Need sample advisories, changelogs, patches, binaries for each tier
2. **Test Scenarios:**
- Single-tier evidence (Tier 1 only, Tier 2 only, etc.)
- Multi-tier evidence (Tier 1+3, Tier 2+3+4, all tiers)
- No evidence (fallback to unknown proof)
- High-volume batch processing (1000+ CVEs)
3. **Validation:** Verify proof hashes are deterministic across runs
### For DevOps Team
1. **Binary Storage:** Fingerprinting requires binary artifact storage (MinIO or S3-compatible)
2. **Resource Sizing:** Proof generation is CPU-bound (SHA-256/BLAKE3), recommend 2+ vCPUs per worker
3. **Caching Strategy:** Consider Redis cache for frequently-accessed proofs (TTL: 24h)
### For Security Team
1. **Threat Model:** Proof tampering mitigated by cryptographic hashes (BLAKE3-256)
2. **Evidence Authenticity:** Trust distro advisories (HTTPS + signature verification)
3. **Key Management:** Proof signing keys should be rotated quarterly (recommend Vault integration)

# 3 · ProductVision — **StellaOps**
> Stella Ops isn't just another scanner—it's a different product category: **deterministic, evidence-linked vulnerability decisions** that survive auditors, regulators, and supply-chain propagation.
## 1) Problem Statement & Goals
We ship containers. We need:
- **Authenticity & integrity** of build artifacts and metadata.
- **Provenance** attached to artifacts, not platforms.
- **Transparency** to detect tampering and retroactive edits.
- **Determinism & explainability** so scanner judgments can be replayed and justified.
- **Actionability** to separate theoretical from exploitable risk (VEX).
- **Minimal trust** across multitenant and thirdparty boundaries.
**Nongoals:** Building a new package manager, inventing new SBOM/attestation formats, or depending on closed standards.
---
## 2) Golden Path (Minimal EndtoEnd Flow)
```mermaid
flowchart LR
A[Source / Image / Rootfs] --> B[SBOM Producer\nCycloneDX 1.7]
B --> C[Signer\nintoto Attestation + DSSE]
C --> D[Transparency\nSigstore Rekor - optional but RECOMMENDED]
D --> E[Durable Storage\nSBOMs, Attestations, Proofs]

G --> H[Policy Gate\nOPA/Rego: allow/deny + waivers]
H --> I[Artifacts Store\nReports, SARIF, VEX, Audit log]
````
**Adopted standards (pinned for interoperability):**
* **SBOM:** CycloneDX **1.7** (JSON/XML; 1.6 accepted for ingest)
* **Attestation & signing:** **intoto Attestations** (Statement + Predicate) in **DSSE** envelopes
* **Transparency:** **Sigstore Rekor** (inclusion proofs, monitoring)
* **Exploitability:** **OpenVEX** (statuses & justifications)
* **Modeling & interop:** **SPDX 3.0.1** (relationships / VEX modeling)
* **Findings interchange (optional):** SARIF for analyzer output
> Pinnings are *policy*, not claims about “latest”. We may update pins via normal change control.
---
## 3) Security Invariants (What MUST Always Hold)
1. **Artifact identity is contentaddressed.**
* All identities are SHA256 digests of immutable blobs (images, SBOMs, attestations).
2. **Every SBOM is signed.**
* SBOMs MUST be wrapped in **intoto DSSE** attestations tied to the container digest.
3. **Provenance is attached, not implied.**
* Build metadata (who/where/how) MUST ride as attestations linked by digest.
4. **Transparency FIRST mindset.**
* Signatures/attestations SHOULD be logged to **Rekor** and store inclusion proofs.
5. **Determinism & replay.**
* Scans MUST be reproducible given: input digests, scanner version, DB snapshot, and config.
6. **Explainability.**
* Findings MUST show the *why*: package → file path → callstack / entrypoint (when available).
7. **Exploitability over enumeration.**
* Risk MUST be communicated via **VEX** (OpenVEX), including **under_investigation** where appropriate.
8. **Least privilege & minimal trust.**
* Build keys are shortlived; scanners run on ephemeral, leastprivileged workers.
9. **Airgap friendly.**
* Mirrors for vuln DBs and containers; all verification MUST work without public egress.
10. **No hidden blockers.**
* Policy gates MUST be codereviewable (e.g., Rego) and auditable; waivers are attestations, not emails.

* **Build/CI:** Holds signing capability (shortlived keys or keyless signing).
* **Registry:** Source of truth for image bytes; access via digest only.
* **Scanner Pool:** Ephemeral nodes; contentaddressed caches; no shared mutable state.
* **Artifacts Store:** Immutable, WORMlike storage for SBOMs, attestations, proofs, SARIF, VEX.
---
## 5) Data & Evidence We Persist
| Artifact | MUST Persist | Why |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------- |
| SBOM (CycloneDX 1.7) | Raw file + DSSE attestation | Reproducibility, audit |
| intoto Statement | Full JSON | Traceability |
| Rekor entry | UUID + inclusion proof | Tamperevidence |
| Scanner output | SARIF + raw notes | Triage & tooling interop |
| VEX | OpenVEX + links to findings | Noise reduction & compliance |
| Policy decisions | Input set + decision + rule versions | Governance & forensics |
Retention follows our Compliance policy; default **≥ 18 months**.
---
## 6) Scanner Requirements (Determinism & Explainability)
* **Inputs pinned:** image digest(s), SBOM(s), scanner version, vuln DB snapshot date, config hash.
* **Explainability:** show file paths, package coords (e.g., purl), and—when possible—**entrytrace/callstack** from executable entrypoints to vulnerable symbol(s).
* **Caching:** contentaddressed perlayer & perecosystem caches; warming does not change decisions.
* **Unknowns:** output **under_investigation** where exploitability is not yet known; roll into VEX.
* **Interchange:** emit **SARIF** for IDE and pipeline consumption (optional but recommended).
---
## 7) Policy Gate (OPA/Rego) — Examples
> Gate runs after scan + VEX merge. It treats VEX as firstclass input.
### 7.1 Deny unreconciled criticals that are exploitable
```rego
package stella.policy
default allow := false
exploitable(v) {
v.severity == "CRITICAL"
v.exploitability == "affected"
}
allow {
not exploitable_some
}
exploitable_some {
some v in input.findings
exploitable(v)
not waived(v.id)
}
waived(id) {
some w in input.vex
w.vuln_id == id
w.status == "not_affected"
w.justification != ""
}
```
### 7.2 Require Rekor inclusion for attestations
```rego
package stella.policy
violation[msg] {
some a in input.attestations
not a.rekor.inclusion_proof
msg := sprintf("Attestation %s lacks Rekor inclusion proof", [a.id])
}
```
---
## 8) Version Pins & Compatibility
| Domain | Standard | Stella Pin | Notes |
| ------------ | -------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| SBOM | CycloneDX | **1.7** | JSON or XML accepted; 1.6 ingest supported |
| Attestation | intoto | **Statement v1** | Predicates per use case (e.g., sbom, provenance) |
| Envelope | DSSE | **v1** | Canonical JSON payloads |
| Transparency | Sigstore Rekor | **API stable** | Inclusion proof stored alongside artifacts |
| VEX | OpenVEX | **spec current** | Map to SPDX 3.0.1 relationships as needed |
| Interop | SPDX | **3.0.1** | Use for modeling & crossecosystem exchange |
| Findings | SARIF | **2.1.0** | Optional but recommended |
---
## 9) Minimal CLI Playbook (Illustrative)

```
### 10.3 OpenVEX (compact)
```json
{
"@context": "https://openvex.dev/ns/v0.2.0",
"author": "Stella Ops Security",
"timestamp": "2025-10-29T00:00:00Z",

{
"vulnerability": "CVE-2025-0001",
"products": ["pkg:purl/example@1.2.3?arch=amd64"],
"status": "under_investigation",
"justification": "analysis_ongoing",
"timestamp": "2025-10-29T00:00:00Z"
}
]
}
```
---
## 11) Handling “Unknowns” & Noise
* Use **OpenVEX** statuses: `affected`, `not_affected`, `fixed`, `under_investigation`.
* Prefer **justifications** over freetext.
* Timebound **waivers** are modeled as VEX with `not_affected` + justification or `affected` + compensating controls.
* Dashboards MUST surface counts separately for `under_investigation` so risk is visible.
---
## 12) Operational Guidance
**Key management**
* Use **ephemeral OIDC** or shortlived keys (HSM/KMS bound).
* Rotate signer identities at least quarterly; no shared longterm keys in CI.
**Caching & performance**
* Layer caches keyed by digest + analyzer version.
* Prewarm vuln DB snapshots; mirror into airgapped envs.
**Multitenancy**
* Strict tenant isolation for storage and compute.
* Ratelimit and bound memory/CPU per scan job.
**Auditing**
* Every decision is a record: inputs, versions, rule commit, actor, result.
* Preserve Rekor inclusion proofs with the attestation record.
---
## 13) Exceptions Process (Breakglass)
1. Open a tracked exception with: artifact digest, CVE(s), business justification, expiry.
2. Generate VEX entry reflecting the exception (`not_affected` with justification or `affected` with compensating controls).
3. Merge into policy inputs; **policy MUST read VEX**, not tickets.
4. Rereview before expiry; exceptions cannot autorenew.
---
## 14) Threat Model (Abbreviated)
* **Tampering**: modified SBOMs/attestations → mitigated by DSSE + Rekor + WORM storage.
* **Confused deputy**: scanning a different image → mitigated by digestonly pulls and subject digests in attestations.
* **TOCTOU / retagging**: registry tags drift → mitigated by digest pinning everywhere.
* **Scanner poisoning**: unpinned DBs → mitigated by snapshotting and recording version/date.
* **Key compromise**: longlived CI keys → mitigated by OIDC keyless or shortlived KMS keys.

## 9) Moats
<!-- TODO: Review for separate approval - updated moats section -->
**Four capabilities no competitor offers together:**
1. **Signed Reachability** Every reachability graph is sealed with DSSE; optional edge-bundle attestations for runtime/init/contested paths.
2. **Deterministic Replay** Scans run bit-for-bit identical from frozen feeds and analyzer manifests.
3. **Explainable Policy (Lattice VEX)** Evidence-linked VEX decisions with explicit "Unknown" state handling.
4. **Sovereign + Offline Operation** FIPS/eIDAS/GOST/SM/PQC profiles and offline mirrors as first-class toggles.
**Decision Capsules:** Every scan result is sealed in a Decision Capsule—a content-addressed bundle containing exact SBOM, vuln feed snapshots, reachability evidence, policy version, derived VEX, and signatures. Auditors can re-run any capsule bit-for-bit to verify the outcome.
**Additional moat details:**
- **Deterministic replay:** Hash-stable scans with frozen feeds and analyzer manifests; replay packs verifiable offline.
- **Hybrid reachability attestations:** Graph-level DSSE always; selective edge-bundle DSSE for runtime/init/contested edges with Rekor caps. Both static call-graph edges and runtime-derived edges can be attested.
- **Lattice VEX engine (Evidence-Linked):** Trust algebra across advisories, runtime, reachability, waivers; explainable paths with proof-linked decisions. Unlike yes/no approaches, explicit "Unknown" state handling ensures incomplete data never leads to false safety.
- **Crypto sovereignty:** FIPS/eIDAS/GOST/SM/PQC profiles and offline mirrors as first-class configuration.
- **Proof graph:** DSSE + Rekor spanning SBOM, call-graph, VEX, Decision Capsules, replay manifests for chain-of-custody evidence.
- **VEX Propagation:** Generate vulnerability status attestations downstream consumers can automatically trust and ingest—scalable VEX sharing across the supply chain.

# StellaOps Moat Track — Spec Outline v0.5
> **Core Thesis:** Stella Ops isn't a scanner that outputs findings. It's a platform that outputs **attestable decisions that can be replayed**. That difference survives auditors, regulators, and supply-chain propagation.
---
## The Category Difference
Traditional scanners output findings: "CVE-2024-1234 exists in package X."
Stella Ops outputs decisions: "CVE-2024-1234 is reachable via this call path, vendor VEX says not_affected but runtime disagrees (creating a conflict the policy must resolve), and here's the signed proof chain."
This isn't a feature gap—it's a category difference.
---
## Why Competitors Can't Easily Catch Up
| Origin | Representatives | What They Optimized For | Architectural Constraint |
|--------|----------------|------------------------|--------------------------|
| **Package Scanners** | Trivy, Syft/Grype | Fast CLI, broad coverage | No forensic reproducibility; VEX is boolean; no DSSE for reachability |
| **Developer UX** | Snyk | IDE integration, fix PRs | SaaS-only; no attestation infrastructure; offline impossible |
| **Policy/Compliance** | Prisma, Aqua | Runtime protection, CNAPP | No deterministic replay; no cryptographic provenance |
| **SBOM Operations** | Anchore | SBOM storage, lifecycle | No lattice VEX; no signed reachability; no regional crypto |
Retrofitting our capabilities requires fundamental rearchitecture—not just features.
---
## Four Capabilities No Competitor Offers Together
| # | Capability | What It Is | Why It's Hard to Copy |
|---|-----------|-----------|----------------------|
| 1 | **Signed Reachability** | Every reachability graph sealed with DSSE; optional edge-bundle attestations for runtime/init/contested paths. Hybrid static + runtime. | Requires three-layer instrumentation + cryptographic binding to call paths |
| 2 | **Deterministic Replay** | Scans run bit-for-bit identical from frozen feeds and analyzer manifests. Decision Capsules seal all evidence. | Requires content-addressed evidence model + feed snapshotting + deterministic ordering |
| 3 | **Explainable Policy (K4 Lattice VEX)** | Belnap K4 logic (Unknown/True/False/Conflict) merges SBOM, advisories, VEX, waivers into single verdict with proof links. | Requires rethinking VEX from suppression to logical claims |
| 4 | **Sovereign + Offline Operation** | FIPS/eIDAS/GOST/SM/PQC profiles as config toggles. Sealed knowledge snapshots for air-gap parity. | Requires pluggable crypto + offline trust roots + regional compliance |
**Scope of this doc:**
(1) Decision Capsules, (2) Deterministic Replayable Scans (SRM), (3) Policy Engine & Lattice UI, (4) Sovereign Readiness (CryptoProfile + RootPack), (5) Attestation Observability Graph (AOG), (6) ProcurementGrade Trust Statement, (7) ThirdParty Proof Channel, (8) Zastava differential SBOM + AI scheduler.
Crosscutting principles: offlinefirst, cryptographic determinism, evidencebound decisions, regional crypto compliance, minimal operational friction.
---
## 0) Shared Concepts (applies to all 8)
* **Artifact identity:** digest-first (OCI image digest, file sha256).
* **Canonicalization:** all structured payloads (SBOM, SRM, Trust Statement JSON, VEX) are normalized via Canonical JSON (RFC8785like) prior to hashing/signing.
* **Signatures:** DSSE envelopes; **dualsigning** supported (e.g., FIPS ECDSA + GOST R 34.10; or ECDSA + SM2).
* **Attestation chain:** each decision (scan, VEX merge, policy evaluation) yields a signed, replayable record.
* **Profiles & Packs:** **CryptoProfile** (algorithm + root policy) and **RootPack** (trust anchors + OCSP/CRL/TSA mirrors) are versioned and importable.
* **Policy Unit Tests:** any policy/lattice bundle ships with fixtures expected to pass during CI.
---
## 1) Deterministic Replayable Scans — SRM
### Objective
Make every scan a **provable, reexecutable fact**. Auditors can replay; results are bitforbit reproducible.
### Deliverables
* **SRM v0.1** schema (YAML/JSON)
* Deterministic executor + `stella replay`
* Replay diffing and result hashing
### SRM (Stella Replay Manifest) — schema (abridged)
```yaml
apiVersion: srm.stellaops.dev/v0.1
scan:
id: uuid
timestamp: ISO8601
engine: { name: "stella-scan", version: "1.7.3", build_sha: "<sha>" }
environment:
os_image: <digest>
kernel: { uname: "...", cgroups: "v2" }
cpu_features: [avx2, sse4.2]
inputs:
image: { name: "reg/app:1.9.2", digest: "<sha>", layers: ["<sha>", ...] }
sbom: { type: "cyclonedx@1.5", digest: "<sha>" }
vex_set: [{ type: "openvex", digest: "<sha>" }]
lattice_policy: { id: "corp-policy@2025-08-15", digest: "<sha>" }
rules_and_feeds:
rulesets: [{ name: "vuln-core", version: "2025.08.30", digest: "<sha>" }]
feeds:
- { name: "nvd", snapshot_date: "2025-08-30", archive_digest: "<sha>" }
execution:
mode: deterministic
random_seed: 314159
ordering: lexical
heuristics: { binary_scan: true, secrets: false }
evidence:
files_hashed: 12873
samples: [{ path: "/usr/lib/libssl.so.3", sha256: "<sha>" }]
outputs:
report_digest: "<sha>" # canonical JSON root hash
artifacts:
- { name: "findings.json", sha256: "<sha>" }
signatures:
- { scheme: "DSSE", CryptoProfile: "FIPS-140-3", signer: "build-ca@corp" }
- { scheme: "DSSE", CryptoProfile: "GOST-2012", signer: "ru-ca@corp" }
rekor: { entries: ["<uuid>", ...] } # optional (offline allowed)
```
### CLI & API
* `stella scan --image reg/app@sha256:... --srm-out srm.yaml --findings findings.json`
* `stella replay srm.yaml --out replay.json --assert-digest <sha>`
* `POST /v1/srm/replay` → returns `ok`, `replay_report_digest`, `diff` (if any).
### Determinism Rules
* Single thread or ordered parallel with stable scheduling; sorted inputs; fixed random seed; pinned rules/feeds/policies from SRM; identical canonicalization routines.
### Acceptance Criteria
* Replaying SRM on a different host returns identical `report_digest`.
* If any feed archive differs by 1 bit, replay fails with a precise diff.
* SRM size ≤ 25 MB for a typical microservice image (excludes large feed archives, which may be referenced by digest and bundled as a sidecar tar).
---
## 2) Policy Engine & Lattice UI
### Objective
Turn VEX merging and severity logic into **programmable, testable algebra** with explainability.
### Trust Algebra Foundation (Implemented 2025-12)
The lattice engine uses **Belnap K4 four-valued logic** to aggregate heterogeneous security claims:
* **K4 Values**: Unknown (⊥), True (T), False (F), Conflict ()
* **Security Atoms**: Six orthogonal propositions per Subject:
- PRESENT: component instance exists in artifact
- APPLIES: vulnerability applies to component (version match)
- REACHABLE: vulnerable code reachable from entrypoint
- MITIGATED: controls prevent exploitation
- FIXED: remediation applied
- MISATTRIBUTED: false positive indicator
* **Claim Resolution**: Multiple VEX sources (CycloneDX, OpenVEX, CSAF) normalized to atoms, aggregated with conflict detection, then disposition selected via priority rules.
* **Implementation**: `src/Policy/__Libraries/StellaOps.Policy/TrustLattice/` (110 tests passing)
### Model
* **Domain:** partial order over vulnerability states:
`unknown < under_investigation < affected || not_affected < fixed`.
Crossproduct with *scope*: `{runtime_path, build_path, optional_path}` and *confidence*: `{low, med, high}`.
* **Merge semantics:** monotonic lattice joins; conflict resolution rules prioritized by signed source trust and policy precedence.
### DSL (sketch)
```hocon
policy "corp-runtime" version "2025.08.15" {
sources {
trust_order = ["vendor:redhat", "internal:appsec", "public:nvd"]
require_signatures = true
}
rules {
when vex.statement == "not_affected"
and evidence.entrypoint_exposes == false
then state := not_affected with confidence := high;
when package.is_dev_dependency == true
then scope := optional_path;
when cvss >= 9.0 and reachable == true
then priority := "block";
}
guards {
forbid unsigned_sources;
forbid downgrade_of_state_below previous_state;
}
}
```
### UI (“Trust Algebra Studio”)
* Draganddrop rule blocks, precedence editor, **simulation mode** on sample SBOM/VEX; **policy unit tests**.
* Export **signed** `.lattice.json`; importable into CI.
### CLI & API
* `stella policy lint corp-runtime.lattice.json`
* `stella policy test --fixtures fixtures/`
* `POST /v1/policy/evaluate` → normalized decision + proof trail.
### Acceptance Criteria
* Given same inputs, policy evaluation yields identical decision + proof trail hash.
* UI can roundtrip DSL ⇄ JSON with no semantic drift.
* Policy pack signature required to run in “enforced” mode.
---
## 3) Sovereign Readiness — CryptoProfile + RootPack
### Objective
**Dropin regional cryptography** (Russia/China/EU/US) with offline operation.
### CryptoProfile (attached to every signature/attestation)
```json
{
"id": "GOST-2012@v1",
"algorithms": {"sign":"GOST R 34.10-2012","hash":"GOST R 34.11-2012","cipher":"GOST 34.12-2015"},
"key_policy": {"curve":"id-tc26-gost-3410-2012-256","hsm_required": true},
"time_stamping": {"tsa": "rootpack://ru/tsa1"},
"roots": ["rootpack://ru/trustanchors/gost-ca1"]
}
```
### RootPack
* Tarball containing: trust anchors, intermediate CAs, OCSP/CRL snapshots, TSA profiles, policy constraints (e.g., no crosssign with foreign roots), and region metadata.
* Installed via: `stella rootpack import rootpack_ru_v1.tar.gz`.
### DualSigning & Guardrails
* Policy flags like `allow_dual_signing FIPS+GOST`, `forbid_sm2_for_us_exports` (example only).
* Enforcement happens at signing time and verification time.
### Acceptance Criteria
* Offline verification using RootPack succeeds; online OCSP disabled per policy.
* Misprofiled signatures are rejected with explicit reason codes.
* Dualsigned DSSE verifies under both profiles when allowed.
---
## 4) Attestation Observability Graph (AOG)
### Objective
Make trust **observable**. Expose SLIs/SLOs for cryptographic posture & policy compliance.
### Data Model
* Nodes: `{artifact, sbom, policy, vex, srm, signature, rootpack, runtime_instance}`
* Edges: `derived_from`, `signed_by`, `evaluated_by`, `replayed_by`, `runs_as`
### Metrics (OpenTelemetry/Prometheus)
* `stella_trust_sli{service,env}` = fraction of running pods whose image has a valid SRMbacked attestation chain under the active policy.
* `stella_attestation_latency_seconds` (P50/P95) from build to verifiedready.
* `stella_policy_drift_events_total` (increment when running policy != signed policy).
* `stella_exception_without_proof_total` (must be 0).
* `stella_replay_success_ratio` (per week).
**SLO Example**
* **Trust SLO ≥ 99.9%** measured hourly; error budget resets monthly.
### Interfaces
* `stella aog export --format otlp`
* `GET /v1/aog/graph?artifactDigest=...` → subgraph JSON (with signed edge proofs).
* Grafana dashboards (packaged).
### Acceptance Criteria
* AOG can reconstruct the full trust lineage for any running pod in ≤ 2s (p95) on a 1kservice cluster.
* Metrics cardinality bounded (service/env/policy only).
---
## 5) ProcurementGrade “Trust Statement”
### Objective
One **boardready** artifact that unifies security posture across vendors; machinereadable twin for ERP/GRC.
### Outputs
* **PDF** (human): signed, watermark, controlled fields for vendor name/version/date, summary graphs, SLOs, exceptions with PCE (proofcarrying exceptions).
* **JSON** (machine): normalized schema below; DSSEsigned; includes SRM and policy references.
```json
{
"schema": "trust-statement.stellaops.dev/v1",
"vendor": {"name": "Acme","product":"Payments API","version":"1.9.2"},
"build": {"image_digest":"sha256:...","srm_digest":"sha256:..."},
"policy": {"id":"corp-runtime@2025-08-15","digest":"sha256:..."},
"summary": {
"trust_sli": 0.9992,
"exceptions": 1,
"open_findings": {"critical":0,"high":2,"medium":4,"low":12}
},
"exceptions": [{
"id":"EXC-2025-0912",
"reason":"not_affected-via-vex",
"proof_digest":"sha256:...",
"expiry":"2026-01-15"
}],
"signatures": [{ "CryptoProfile":"FIPS-140-3" }]
}
```
### Integrations
* Push connectors: **SAP Ariba, ServiceNow, Archer, Jira** (webhooks or SFTP in offline flows).
* CLI: `stella trust-statement generate --srm srm.yaml --policy corp-runtime.lattice.json --out acme-1.9.2.trust.json --pdf`.
### Acceptance Criteria
* JSON validates against schema; PDF and JSON hashes match the DSSE statement.
* ERP ingest POC: Ariba/ServiceNow field mapping validated.
---
## 6) ThirdParty Proof Channel
### Objective
Create a **publisher ecosystem** for upstream proofs: SBOM, VEX, and **VDR (Vulnerability Derivation Reason)**.
### Publisher Model
* **Identity:** publishers obtain a **Publisher Certificate** (could be verified via RootPackanchored CA or crosssigned).
* **Submission:** `stella ledger publish --type {sbom|vex|vdr} --artifact <digest> --file proof.json --sign`.
* **Moderation & Revocation:** CRLlike **Proof Revocation List (PRL)** with signed reasons.
### VDR (schema sketch)
```json
{
"schema":"vdr.stellaops.dev/v1",
"artifact":"sha256:...",
"cve":"CVE-2025-12345",
"claim":"not_affected",
"method":"entrypoint_unreachable|abi_mismatch|dead_code",
"evidence_refs":[{"type":"symbol_map","digest":"sha256:..."}],
"publisher":"redhat://rhel",
"signatures":[...]
}
```
### Consumption
* Policies can **prioritize** publisher channels by trust level.
* AOG shows which proofs originated from which publishers.
### Acceptance Criteria
* At least one upstream (e.g., base image vendor) can publish and your policy can consume & rank it.
* PRL revokes a proof and AOG reflects the change within 5 minutes.
---
## 7) Zastava — differential SBOM + AI enrichment scheduler
### Objective
Produce **entrypointaware differential SBOMs** and continually **reenrich** new/old SBOMs with AI context and exposureaware prioritization.
### Concepts
* **dSBOM:** SBOM that reflects effective dependency set for a specific `ENTRYPOINT/CMD` and runtime flags (e.g., `--server.urls`, `DOTNET_...`).
* **Scheduler:** rescans **old SBOMs** when: (a) new CVE feeds arrive, (b) new VEX/VDR appear, (c) policy changes, or (d) AI models learn new exploitability signals.
### Pipeline
1. **Static slice:** infer reachable packages from entrypoint (e.g., `.NET Kestrel` vs CLI tool).
2. **Runtime slice (optional):** collect process tree, open sockets, and imported modules at startup in a **shadow run** or mirrored traffic.
3. **Diff:** `dSBOM = SBOM ∩ (static_reachable runtime_observed)`.
4. **AI Enrichment:** Zastava annotates each finding with *context weights* (exposed/not exposed, network scope, RBAC, secrets proximity).
5. **Plan:** produce PRs (Dockerfile base bump, package pin, k8s Service change).
6. **Scheduler:**
* `stella zastava schedule --query 'service=payments AND env=prod' --interval 6h`
* Triggers reevaluation and emits updated SRM + Trust deltas.
### dSBOM format (addon)
```json
{
"schema":"cyclonedx+stella-diff@1.0",
"base_sbom":"sha256:...",
"entrypoint": ["/app/bin/Release/net10.0/app.dll"],
"cmd": ["--urls","http://127.0.0.1:8080"],
"static_reachable": ["pkg:nuget/Kestrel@*", "pkg:nuget/System.Data@*"],
"runtime_observed": ["pkg:rpm/openssl@3.0.9"],
"excluded_paths": ["/usr/share/docs/**"],
"digest":"sha256:..."
}
```
### Kestrel example (priority logic)
* If Kestrel present but Service is `ClusterIP` and no Ingress, **deprioritize**; if `LoadBalancer`/`NodePort` with 0RTT TLS disabled, **prioritize**.
* Zastava produces an **explainable card**: “Priority lowered due to nonexposed runtime path; evidence: `kubectl get svc`, `netstat`, policy rule #42.”
### Acceptance Criteria
* Changing `ENTRYPOINT` produces a different, signed dSBOM and updated priorities.
* Scheduler updates stale SBOMs and issues signed deltas without network access (when RootPacks + feed mirrors are available).
---
## CrossCutting Security & Compliance
* **Sanctions & Guardrails:** perprofile constraints (e.g., forbid dualsigning across certain jurisdictions). Policyenforced at sign/verify time.
* **HSM Integrations:** PKCS#11 providers for each profile (FIPS, GOST, SM2).
* **Data handling:** SRMs and Trust Statements may contain paths and hashes; optional redaction profiles for vendor sharing.

## Success Metrics (per pillar)
* **SRM:** ≥ 99% of production images have SRM attached; **Replay Success Ratio** ≥ 0.99 weekly.
* **Policy/Lattice:** 100% of exceptions carry proof; policy test coverage ≥ 90% on top CVE classes.
* **Sovereign:** RootPacks for RU/CN/EU/US verified; dualsigning working in CI; offline verification median < 200 ms.
* **AOG:** Trust SLO 99.9%; lineage lookup p95 2s.
* **Trust Statement:** Accepted by at least one ERP (pilot); generation time 15s.
* **ThirdParty Channel:** 3 upstream publishers integrated; PRL revocations flow to AOG within 5 minutes.
* **Zastava:** dSBOM reduces nonreachable high/critical findings by 35% without raising exposure incidents.
---
## Risks & Mitigations
* **Crypto complexity:** profile misuse strict guardrails + default safe profiles, strong linting.
* **Cardinality/telemetry blowups:** AOG label hygiene + sampling.
* **Vendor adoption (Proof Channel):** seed with your own base images and internal frameworks; provide SDKs and reference publishers.
* **Determinism regressions:** CI runs replay tests on golden SRMs; any drift fails the build.

## Competitive Landscape (Jan 2026)
Based on source-code audit of Trivy v0.55, Grype v0.80, Snyk CLI v1.1292, plus documentation review of Prisma, Aqua, and Anchore.
### The Nine Structural Gaps We Exploit
| # | Capability | Industry Status | Stella Ops Advantage | Module(s) |
|---|-----------|-----------------|---------------------|-----------|
| 1 | **SBOM Fidelity** | Static artifact, order-dependent, varies per run | Deterministic per-layer digests + Build-ID mapping; binary crosswalk | `Scanner`, `SbomService`, `BinaryIndex` |
| 2 | **VEX Handling** | Boolean suppression or absent | K4 lattice (Unknown/True/False/Conflict) with trust weighting | `VexLens`, `TrustLatticeEngine`, `Excititor` |
| 3 | **Reachability** | "Runtime context" badge (coarse) | Three-layer call-path proofs (static + binary + runtime) with DSSE | `ReachGraph`, `PathWitnessBuilder` |
| 4 | **Backport Detection** | Version string checks | Four-tier: distro feeds changelog patches binary fingerprints | `Feedser`, `SourceIntel`, `BinaryIndex` |
| 5 | **Smart-Diff** | File-level/hash comparison | Semantic risk deltas ("exploitability dropped 41%") | `MaterialRiskChangeDetector` |
| 6 | **Triage UX** | Loud lists, duplicated root causes | Quiet queue + one finding per root cause + evidence panel | UI + canonical finding keys |
| 7 | **Unknowns** | Hidden/suppressed | First-class state with bands, decay, policy budgets | `UnknownStateLedger`, `Policy` |
| 8 | **Attestations** | Cosign-only or absent | in-toto/DSSE chain for scans, VEX, reachability, fixes | `Attestor`, `Signer` |
| 9 | **Offline** | Partial cache, degraded signals | Full parity with sealed snapshots + regional crypto | `AirGap.Controller`, `CryptoProfile` |
### Why Competitors Plateau (Architectural)
| Competitor Class | Origin | Why They Can't Easily Catch Up |
|-----------------|--------|-------------------------------|
| **Trivy/Syft/Grype** | Package scanners | No forensic reproducibility in architecture; evidence model is row-based, not content-addressed; VEX is filter, not logic |
| **Snyk** | Developer UX | SaaS-only means offline impossible; no attestation infrastructure; reachability is language-limited |
| **Prisma/Aqua** | Policy/compliance | No deterministic replay; no cryptographic provenance; verdicts aren't portable |
| **Anchore** | SBOM operations | No lattice VEX; no signed reachability graphs; no regional crypto profiles |
### Capability Gap Matrix
| Capability | Trivy | Grype | Snyk | Prisma | Aqua | Anchore | **Stella** |
|-----------|-------|-------|------|--------|------|---------|------------|
| Deterministic replay | No | No | No | No | No | No | **Yes** |
| VEX lattice (K4) | Boolean | Boolean | None | None | Limited | Limited | **Full** |
| Signed reachability | No | No | No | No | No | No | **DSSE** |
| Binary backport detection | No | No | No | No | No | No | **Tier 1-4** |
| Semantic risk diff | No | No | No | No | No | No | **Yes** |
| Unknowns as state | Hidden | Hidden | Hidden | Hidden | Hidden | Hidden | **First-class** |
| Regional crypto | No | No | No | No | No | No | **Yes** |
| Offline parity | Medium | Medium | No | Strong | Medium | Good | **Full** |
### Where We're Ahead (Unique)
1. **Deterministic replay** Bit-for-bit reproducibility with `stella replay`
2. **K4 lattice VEX** Conflict detection, not suppression
3. **Signed reachability** DSSE graphs + edge bundles
4. **Smart-Diff** Semantic risk deltas
5. **Unknowns modeling** Bands, decay, policy budgets
6. **Regional crypto** FIPS/eIDAS/GOST/SM/PQC as config
### Where Competitors Lead (For Now)
| Area | Leader | Our Response |
|------|--------|--------------|
| Mass-market UX | Snyk | Focus on power users who need proofs |
| SaaS onboarding | Snyk, Prisma | Offer both SaaS and self-hosted |
| Ecosystem breadth | Trivy | Depth over breadth; evidence quality over coverage |
| Marketplace integrations | All | Prioritize based on customer demand |
